Alternatively, go to the store in Paris called "Thanksgiving" that sells American groceries, including turkeys, sides, pumpkin and pecan pie. Even the stuff to make green bean hotdish! (Only 3.5 E for brown sugar - lol) Better yet, get invited to the parties at the Embassy or any American media outlet. http://www.thanksgivingparis.com/store.html

I'd go for Whata over In N Out. I think In and Out's mystique is just that. Granted, they have very fresh, pretty veggies on their burgers, but that's not what makse a burger for me. Take theirs apart, and that's a very thin, flavorless slab-ette of ground beef.

The best burgers in Portland are at sushi bars.
bamboo sushi first, yakusa second. funny that the yakusa got started little big burger which are awful. also skip "local faves" like stanichs and helvetia. brunch box is good, too.

I love Chinese buffets, and have been to some really great ones. The one place they all seem to fall down is with their "American" food, though that's not what I am there for, obviously somebody wants it.

Since 1917, these guys have been frying burgers with a little lard and a lot of grilled onions on a flattop in an 8x8 shack on the sidewalk, open summers only. This is seriously one of the tastier burgers I have had in the past couple years. It's a hike, halfway between Madison and Milwaukee on US 18. Balls of fresh ground beef smashed on the griddle, bakery soft buns, you add condiments on your own.
